List of explicit soft-porn and gay books in US school libraries
2023, Nick and Charlie
“Nick and Charlie,” written by Alice Oseman, is the story of two boys who engage in gay sex. In 2023, an outraged father, Adam Knox, spoke before the Board of W Raymond School District 14 and blasted another book, “Gender Queer,” with a similar storyline.
“This is bulls–t,” he said. “We do not need to have literature showing boys how to s–k d–k …, ” reported NY Post.
His 11 years old son Knox read a passage from the book Nick and Charlie on the library stand. The librarian also asked if Knox wanted a graphic novel version of the book.
Knox went to read, “My back over my hips. I asked if he should take his clothes off. He was saying yes before I finished my sentence. He’s pulling off my T-shirt, laughing when I can’t undo his shirt buttons. He’s undoing my belt. I’m reaching into his bedside drawer for a condom.”
2022, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
The book follows the story of a high school student named Greg, who is forced by his mother to spend time with a classmate named Rachel, who has been diagnosed with leukemia.
The book has been criticized for its crude language, portrayal of drug use and exploration of sensitive themes related to terminal illness.
The book has been banned in several elementary schools after backlash from parents.
According to a parent who called out the school at a meeting, the book talked about “how to eat pussy,” “how to eat a butthole,” said “fuck” 79 times, “shit” 51 times, “dicks” 11 times, had 15 “pussy’s” and 9 “god damn’s,” all for thirteen-year-olds to read. [MRC]
It contained suggestions on how to rape a girl (page 73), the usual “f word,” masturbation, and normalizing sex with conversations such as “Are you gonna eat her pussy?… teah Earl, I’m gonna eat her pussy.”
2022, Mellissa
The book ‘Mellissa’ was previously titled “George.” It’s about a journey of a fourth-grade boy coming out as a trans girl. The book intends to encourage a boy struggling with his identity to embrace becoming a trans girl.
For example, “She immersed her body in the warm water and tried not to think about what was between her legs, but there it was, bobbing in front of her,” the book said.
“Melissa locked herself in a stall, delighted for the privacy. She lifted her skirt to see her underwear, covered in tiny red hearts. She pulled it down, sat, and peed, just like a girl…,” a “magnificent day for her.“
2020, Jack of Hearts (And Other Parts)
Written by L.C. Rosen, Jack of Hearts’ book was allowed in six public schools in Wake County, NC alone. It explicitly details anal sex, blow job tips, a response to a letter about gay sex, and BDSM.
The father called it perversion, perpetuated by Democrats. He quoted excerpts from the book:
“So he bends me over the bed and drizzles some lube on my I made him wear a condom, of course, and he starts pushing it in. Use your lungs to suck, not your lips to pull. You’re not trying to yank the dick off with your mouth.“
Not all schools agreed for the book to be pulled out and instead took it as informative to kids who may be struggling with their queerness.

2020, Flamer
Award-winning author and illustrator of the book ‘Flamer,’ Mike Curato is half-Filipino with an abusive father and depressed mother. He had serious family issues and suffered from depression.
He grew up being told that being gay is fundamentally evil, which is perhaps why the book is quite intense.
Flamer is about a gay relationship between a middle and high school at the camp. It contains “frank references” on gay sex, bullying, and self-harm—unsuitable for a K-6 library.
2020, All Boys Aren’t Blue
Written by George M. Johnson, the book Boys Arent Blue is for young adults, an “honest memoir” about growing up a queer Black man in New Jersey and Virginia.
The book is about “educating” and encouraging LGBTQ people who face similar struggles and discrimination. However, there are descriptive consensual sex and sexual assault not suited for young readers.
In 2021, the Olathe school district in Kansas approved the book for grades eight and above—even if it contains graphic gay sex scenes. The community boasts a team that includes administrators, department chairpersons, teachers, and library specialists, who decide on reading materials.
Jill Woolbright of the Flagler County School Board in Florida filed a criminal complaint for allowing the “book memoir” on school library shelves. She said some chapters have explicit sexual details, inappropriate for young students.
2020, Black Girl Unlimited
According to Common Sense Media, the Black Girl Unlimited, written by Echo Brown, details consensual sexual encounters, masturbation, and sexual fantasies, suited for mature readers.
Goddard school district in Kansas and Nixa High School in Missouri first banned the book, among other inappropriate reading materials for young readers. [Springfield]
2019, Gender Queer
Maia Kobabe’s ‘Gender Queer” is “soft porn for children.” The sexually explicit book is a story about young gay people who discuss sexual pleasures, oral sex, and inappropriate behavior between siblings.
For example, a monologue of a boy who masturbates to the imagination of him “hip-thrusting” while thinking of his latest gay exchange; a sister recommending her sibling put a finger in their vagina a “taste” it.
Dr. Lynn Reynolds, the executive director of Library Media Services at Jefferson County Public Schools, expressed her support in a hearing in 2021 to keep Gender Queer in the district’s public school libraries. [Fox News]
In 2022, Oklahoma Education Secretary Ryan Walters (R) complained about this book and the book ‘Flamer’ to the superintendent of Tulsa Public School. The superintendent told him to “knock it off.”


2018, Lawn Boy
The book Lawn Boy by Jonathan Evison has been labeled porn by shaken and angry parents. In 2021, Hudson High School faced backlash for letting students read it as part of their curriculum.
Parents labeled it porn because of the graphic details of pedophilia and two boys having sex. For example, the book writes, “I can’t wait to have your c*** in my mouth. I am going to give you the blowjob of your life, and then I want you inside me.”

2018, What If It’s Us?
Authored by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera, the book ‘What if It’s Us’ are about two teenage boys having a gay relationship with explicitly homoerotic exchanges reserved for adult “gay smut.”
For example, “… slowly, his fingers trail closer to my boxers, slipping under their waistband… his hand slides down another inch. I don’t think I’ll ever not be hard again.” (p. 291)
“How does this specifically work? Who puts what parts where and in what order, and when does the condom go on, and what about lube? I know fucking nothing about lube.” (p. 292)
This book was first discovered in an 8th-grade English class at Thomas Jefferson Middle School.

2018, Prince & Knight
The children’s Prince & Knight is considered the “first of kind gay book” intended to be a classic fairytale story for kindergarteners. It was initially discovered at Claremont Elementary School.
With colorful illustrations by Stevie Lewis, the book is intended for young readers. It is basically the alter ego of the traditional princess and prince story.
It also ends in “happy ever after,” with two adult men getting married.
Author Daniel Haack wants young kids to explore their sexuality. And if they identify as a gay boy, they find acceptance and eventual love with other boys.
LGBTQ CARTOON CHARACTERS INCREASE.
2017, Sex Education for 8-12-Year-Olds
Written by Ana Leblanc for very young kids, the book “Sex Education for 8-12-Year-Olds: Kids Book for Good Parents” was first published in 2017. It explains that it’s OK for children to see their parents having sex.
She suggested, “Couples can deliberately leave the bedroom door open or ajar while expressing intimacy.”
For the ultra-liberal author, a child should be gradually introduced to the mechanics of love-making and normalized. After all, it is uncommon for kids to see their parents “making love.” Kids should be able to “enter into the parent’s circle of love,” Leblanc said.
She said some of the most surreal things: “A mother should feel relaxed breast-feeding her baby while her husband makes love to her” (page 47).
2016, Juliet Takes a Breath
The book ‘Juliet Takes a Breath'”‘ written by Gabby Rivera, shares the story of a girl’s journey coming out as a lesbian.
Like the rest of the LGBTQ+ books, it contains highly graphic descriptions of sexual encounters, masturbation, and sexual arousal, according to Common Sense Media.
LGBTQ BOOKS, PUSHED IN SCHOOL LIBRARIES.
2015, Beyond Magenta
The book ‘Beyond Magenta,’ written by Susan Kuklin, documented stories of LGBTQ+ youth. It aims to encourage those who struggled or were bullied over their sexual preference.
However, specific passages are disturbing for young readers that encourage them to think that the homosexual lifestyle is something to be embraced at an early age.
Passages include an 8-year-old having gay sex. “From six and up, I used to kiss other guys in my neighborhood, make out with them, and perform oral sex on them. I liked it. I used to love oral. And I touched their you-know-whats… Guys used to hit on me – perverts – pedophiles.”
2015, Milk and Honey
The book Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur is a #1 New York Times bestseller. It is a collection of poetry and prose about survival—the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity.
It was inspired by a poem Rupi wrote in 2012, where she used ‘milk and honey’ as a metaphor to describe the strength and resilience of Sikh widows who survived the Sikh genocide of 1984.
As a piece of literature, it was written beautifully but using a moral compass; it is an erotic book unsuitable for high school students.
For example, one of the pages depicts a naked woman’s legs spread open with a poem in the center. “You have been taught that your legs are a pit stop for men that need a place to rest, a vacant body empty enough for guests, but no one ever comes and is willing to stay,” it says.
THE WAR AGAINST THE NUCLEAR FAMILY.
2015, This Book is Gay
‘This Book is Gay‘ by Juno Dawson is like an “instruction manual” exploring what it’s like to grow up LGBTQIA. There’s no hiding the gay lifestyle, kinks, and fetishes. The issue others have against the book is that it’s marketed for kids as well.
The book encourages boys (who might be gay) to explore male-to-male sex. Juno recommends using gay and sex apps and has terms such as “Handies” (How to masturbate with another boy), “Blowies” (How to suck a penis), and “Bumming” (Effective way for anal intercourse).
As young as 14 have access to it in Dearborn district, Ferry Elementary and Grand Haven High School Library Michigan, and other schools nationwide. [Restore Ottawa]

Media defends This Book is Gay: Freedom of Speech
In 2023, an Illinois middle school teacher named Sarah Bonner received backlash when parents filed a police report due to her inclusion of the book “This Book is Gay” for Students.
The media coverage, notably by NBC News, portrayed it as a free speech issue but failed to address the underlying reasons for parental concern. [Mainstream bias]

1995, It’s Perfectly Normal
The book ‘It’s Perfectly Normal’ was first banned in Florida schools in 1995. However, the book continues to resurface and be defended by some school libraries because it’s accurate and ideal for ten years old kids.
Several schools, such as Alachua, has the “pornographic book” that a Ph.D. degree holder wrote. The book “It’s Perfectly Normal” discusses the following:
- Illustrations and descriptions of genitalia and sexual intercourse
- Discussions of masturbation and orgasm
- Information about contraception and abortion
- Positive Representations of LGBTQ Relationships and families
